Elderly Ulster County couple killed in crash

BOICEVILLE, N.Y. (AP) -- Police say an elderly couple was killed when the car they were in was hit from behind by a tractor-trailer on a road in the Catskill Mountains.

Police say the Honda Civic with 86-year-old George Un and his 83-year-old wife Vera was stopped Thursday on Route 28 in Boiceville waiting to make a left turn when a truck driver failed to notice the car and rammed it, pushing it more than 100 feet.

George Un, who was in the back seat, was pronounced dead at the scene and Vera Un was flown by helicopter to Albany Medical Center, where she died.

The couple lived in the Ulster County town of Shandaken, near the accident scene.

The truck driver was not injured. The investigation of the crash continues.
